I went to sew on some four patch blocks on to my wall hanging anf thought I better use my walking foot- now this is my first quilt- but I read a lot, I tool off my 1/4" foot and realized I wouldn't have a guide, so I put a piece of tape exactly where the 1/4" would be. I started sewing away and got "motor overload" and my Viking diamond stopped. I finally switched back to the 1/4" foot and then realized I had put the tape over the feed dogs!! Okay I had my laugh, but really, with such a big foot, why don't they put a mark on the foot since it has to be so big and quilter are so anal? It came out well so fay anyway, and I am going to do some fancy freemotion stuff on it with the help of Patsy Thompsons DVD's. It's just for me, so it will be a practice piece, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'll post a pic when I'm done. I just had to give you all a laugh for the day!
